Why Gab--small. Not Twitter--big. Same as why Twitter not touch Trump--Big. Gab is not defensible--who wants to defend a site that claims open to conservative, then hosts anti-Jewish BS, pornography, etc. Bad. Conservative does not equal those values! And, yes, some people defend Gab and ignore rest, else say you don't have to look at the rest but that misses the point, the site hosts that garbage. It says something about the owner's values. They're not conservative, that's for sure. Goodbye Gab.

I am bothered by Lifesite. They seem to have stronger argument--no violent hate, no anti-Jewish BS, and they are religious so-to-speak. Cutting them off might be construed as religious discrimination.

Exactly. America has become a place where if you’re not big, you’re chum in the water.

Not the place it was supposed to be.

Gab didn’t claim to be a conservative site, it’s a free speech site.

"...who wants to defend a site."

I do.

I think a place where you can watch the cockroaches gather makes it easier to keep an eye on them. One of my friends in high school used to tell me he would rather know someone is racist than have it hidden. It makes the solution of how to interact with them so much easier.

You just contradicted your argument: it’s ok to shut down Gab, because it had a bad apple. But oh no Lifesite censorship! Can’t have it both ways. 1A doesn’t guarantee insulation from being offended.

You don't have the slightest clue. You think that only worthy (according to Reno*) speech must be free. You are mistaken, moron!

Free speech must be just that. If the Nazis are not free to march through Skokie, then speech is not free.

And F the ACLU, by the way!

Wrong - twice over:

1) Twitter is spared because Twitter - like Facebook and Youtube - is dedicated to censoring conservative voices. Gab is dedicated to giving those voices a platform.

2) Gab claiming to be open to conservatives does not equal Gab claiming to be solely dedicated to conservatives.

I do not want a “conservative” site; I want an open site.

Do you believe in freedom or not?

Your position, IOW: First they came for Gab, but I did not care because Gab, an open site, allowed legal free speech that I did not like...
